Would also welcome a role play with a “vulnerable narcissist” absent the anger—crocodile tears, profuse apologies, empty vows to reform, promising a field full of ponies. You’ve already proved your acting skills!

It is so satisfying to watch the successful breakup.

[mm]

I didn't even realize that kind of manipulation by the boyfriend was manipulation until this video spelled it out. I thought that kind of bullying was normal. I have so much to learn.

[OceanaK]

The satisfying breakup made me feel so good about how I handled breaking up with my second ex-husband. A lot of former friends and my family members told me I was over reactive and cold but I now see that keeping my boundaries firm when I told him it was over was the right way to go.

[georgeeliot]

The portion re: “Yes! Oh my god—nobody ever recognizes my ADHD! Thank you... I think I was trying to get you to see that” is a perfect hook for a codependent. So brilliantly illustrative and can’t wait for the clinical analysis video.

[yvettevernet]

It is amazing how narcs twist things around to become "the victim" "see what you made me do" "you are responsible for my actions so I am "the victim"here! "

[AmenJenn]

It’s honestly staggering how many people can relate to this.

[amandachilds]

Lol. Totally realistic. The part where Kim is like " So what are we talking about here?!" At like 8 to 9 min. Mark. Yes what are they agreeing to/ about? So confusing but so accurate and sad. Every few minutes of convo it is like a little voice keeps saying " What the heck? What are we talking about because it is like are having like 2 different conversations that sort of overlap or sound similar but are NOT. Yes, that is how it goes with a covert narcissist especially. Exhaustion

[QCDoggies]

Wow, the couples therapy stalling... exactly like that!

[raccuia]

When you are dealing with evil you need to be firm, hard and unyielding (flinty ).

[kiskakuznetsova]

Thank you for this! I tried breaking up with a bf I lived with but he was great at reeling me back in and then, he decided it was over and I was in utter shock, and without a place to live. He caught me off guard and stayed in control. It's been a pattern with me that I stay with people even though I have misgivings, they ask me to stay, I do, then they end things. Always listen to your instincts and endure the pain of "abandoning" someone over losing yourself in a dysfunctional relationship where they beg you to stay, don't change, and didn't really care about you to begin with because when they end it, they will be brutal.

[cfox]

The confusion you showed in the failed breakup was so genuine and real. I can relate to the emotion, good job on the portrayal. From my own experience that failed breakup can happen a few times before you end up getting a successful one, cause they twist your words and intentions to fit their wants and it is so confusing when it's happening.

[catherinesinclair]

Thank you. Epiphany when you pointed out the codependent was asking to break up....not telling ..wow.. needing permission to break up is a world of pain

[karynmoody]

I just went through a break up with someone and he acted exactly like this. This video was really helpful to see the areas where I can be firmer with my boundaries. Thank you for doing these videos, they’ve helped me a lot.

[grassgeese]

[vivian]

Spot on! I broke up with a cheating narcissist 5 months ago and have remained no contact! Still hard to believe what all happened!

[ashleysheree]

This is so accurate!! It took me a while to get to the successful part of the break up. You just have to establish boundaries you never had before and stick with them no matter what. I even had to change my number and get a home phone so he could still call our kids. This way he knew I was serious. Everytime he tries to threaten me with going after me for custody, we never been married so I have full custody in the state I live in, I always repeat stuff sternly, let him know I’ll have the boys call them later and I hang up and unplug the phone because if not he calls back to back. Which is why I changed my number. They also threaten suicide. Which is how he used to get me or they use the kids against you especially if your dad left your family. They give the don’t you want our family to stick together! No! Narcissist are all about them they won’t kill them self’s and they normally won’t follow through with threats it’s a control tactic for them. This doesn’t mean don’t take those threats serious because I did call the police and get a trespass order as well as a ring doorbell. If your going through this you can get out. I promise you can. It took me 7 years but I did it and you can too. Stay strong, stick to your boundaries, and don’t be afraid to safely stick up for yourself. And always make sure you are in a safe environment before taking action. Sending all the love ❤️

[arinaira]

I feel bad for the girl in the first role. She has such a weak boundaries and easily manipulated by the narc boyfriend. The dynamic was awful to watch, but it's a good lesson to learn the pattern. Good job ❤

[tarot_kitty]

Even though my problems with narcissists were in the past and I am safe now, it is healing to watch your videos. They reaffirm and add to my understanding. Thank you for being there for us.

Being in The position of "Kim" in the failed breakup makes it so real to be the one who is wrong and not fair. Filled up with guilt, confusion and need to be together in a true way. And there is not even any closure of emotional connection for me. It's just the conversation. It gives me a perspective of how hard this is to break out and trust ones own thinking. The second one is also too interesting how the person wants more explanations why it ends and gets angry because the person don't accept it.
